Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.
An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

Additional information
How we protect your data
Our website uses a secure encrypted connection for all communications between you and our website. This can be evidenced by the padlock icon displayed in your browser near our website address (the exact location will vary between different browsers and platforms). This secure encryption involves the use of an SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) encryption certificate enable on our website.
SumUp Payment Gateway
The following is an extract from the SumUp help article about Security, read full article. (Please note this article is directed at merchants who accept payments through SumUp but still gives information relevant to our customers using this payment method)
To protect your transactions from unauthorised access by third parties, SumUp operates in accordance with the highest card payment industry security standards:
- PCI-DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard) is the highest data security standard used in the credit card industry concerning data transfer and data storage.
- SSL (Secure Socket Layer) and TLS (Transport Layer Security) are ‘encryption protocols’ that protect data that is transmitted over the internet. We are using 256-bit encryption, the highest possible level at present.
- PGP (Pretty Good Privacy) is an international standard for secure personal data storage.
Website Security
We carry out regular security audits on our platform and website components. This includes the installation of any security updates as and when required. Various methods are used to alert our website administrator to available security updates for our platform and its component parts.
Our website is hosted on a platform that provides free and fast support to prevent security issues and takes daily backups of our website and data so that, should the worst happen, we are able to restore a previously secure version of our website.
What data breach procedures we have in place
Should the worst happen and we detect a data breach we will take all necessary steps to protect your data. This may involve blocking access to our entire website or individual user accounts as required.
We will investigate the particulars of the data breach to identify all data that may have been accessed and will notify our customers if we know or suspect that their data may have been compromised.
We will notify the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) about the data breach following the regulatory procedures.
We will make any changes to our systems to ensure that the same type of data breach cannot happen again.
